1/48 Hasegawa Spitfire Mk VIII

Here are some photos of my Spitfire Mk VIII. The kit is the Hasegawa in 1/48th scale. Except for the seat belts from Eduard, no improvements were added.  This kit is very good and it's a pleasure to build direct from the box.

The model depicts the aircraft assigned to Flt "Eddie" Edwards of No 92 squadron. It was based in Italy on  early 1944. Edwards destroyed 15 aircraft, most of them flying Kittyhawks in 1942. He claimed 3 victories flying Spitfire Mk VIII.
